While it is desirable to encourage pupils by giving them some 

 of the product of their efforts, it is likewise worth while to keep in 

 mind a higher aim than the purely selfish one just referred to. By 

 having pupils plan and execute work for the school, for instance, 

 they are given the opportunity to do faithful work in the service of

the community (Table 15). To be worth while, such work must 

 be within the capacity of the boys, and must be worth while edu- 

 cationally, otherwise it may result in exploitation of the pupils. 



If the product in farm shop work is classified into two divisions, 

 construction work and repair work, it is found that there is also 

 quite a variation in the amount of the latter kind of work done by 

 the schools. Figure 16 gives the distribution in terms of per cent 

 ot the work done for the year. 



All but one of the schools show up fairly well on the basis of 

 the per cent of shop product that is used after it is completed. (Fig- 

 ure 17). The aim should be one hundred per cent.
